Insanity I tell you!
Google has begun censoring search term queries as it relates to anything “torrent” or “BitTorrent” related:
It’s taken a while, but Google has finally caved in to pressure from the entertainment industries including the MPAA and RIAA.
The search engine now actively censors terms including BitTorrent, torrent, utorrent, RapidShare and Megaupload from its instant and autocomplete services.
The reactions from affected companies and services are not mild, with BitTorrent Inc., RapidShare and Vodo all speaking out against this act of commercial censorship.
Yikes. I’m pretty saddened by this since contradicts Google’s Mission:
Google’s mission is to organize the world‘s information and make it universally accessible and useful.
Lame.
